Before The Flood 2 Series
Contributed by Nelson Emeonu on Jul 7, 2014 (message contributor)
Summary: The Days of Noah are here with us. So, God's people should always watch and pray to escape the imminent judgement of God.
BEFORE THE FLOOD 2
The Trumpeter is a moment to prepare the saints for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, calling the Church back to the truth and the path of righteousness and warning the unbelieving world about the coming judgement. It is also the period we are looking at the world events and amazing facts of the last days, as already foretold in the Word of God. Some of the revelations you may see here may shock you.
LET US PRAY.
In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Lord Jesus! Sanctify us with your word for your word is truth. Grant us deeper understanding, revelation and wisdom today for the salvation of souls. Bless my reader or hearer today through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen
This is the Part 2 of the message- BEFORE THE FLOOD
“But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh”
“And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah., And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me: If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold”
You should remember that in the previous episode, we saw how Jesus painted a picture of what the world would look like in the end time before His coming to reign on the earth forever. This can be seen when you read the books of Matthew Chapter 24 and 25
Previously, again, we looked at the 4 out of the 7 characteristics of the world of Noah and seek to avoid their mistakes so that the judgement of God should not fall on us. God never does anything without warning or signal. We said that their generation were known for;
1. PERVERSION
2. PROSPERITY
3. PLEASURE
4. PROGRESS
Now, the other things discovered from their world is that,
THE DAYS OF NOAH WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR;
5. POLYGAMY
When you read Genesis Chapter 4 verse 23, you will observe the name of the 1st polygamist in the whole world, the man- Lamech. He broke the world record. He was the husband of Adah and Zillah. At the creation of the world, God had set His standard for the marriage institution and that is one man, one woman. The name were and should be Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eve with Mary or Adam and Steve. The man, Lamech knew the standard but deliberately decided to violate it. What can God do?
Did you know that the first institution created by God Himself, which is the family institution is under attack today, showing to us that the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ is at hand.
In this century, marriage and family institution are under attack.
This is an age of sexual revolution and perversions. You hear of incest, immorality, bestiality, pre-marital affair, gay and lesbian lifestyles, rape, divorce and other vices. Some of these immoral livings are not only seen in the society but also rampant these days in the Church. How many people are still keeping to the laws of purity and chastity before marriage? Some prefer to taste their lust or love before the ideal day.
